Limitations

The Bold Reports® ASP.NET Core Report Viewer has known limitations in RDL specification support, report layout, expressions, SSRS data source credentials, and image formats for PDF export.

Which RDL specifications does the ASP.NET Core Report Viewer not support?

The ASP.NET Core Report Viewer control does not support RDL specification for SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005.

Report layout

  • In the Tablix cell split layout process of the ASP.NET Core Report Viewer, the entire cell moves to the next page to display the complete cell items, when the table cell width value exceeds the page width.

Expressions

The ASP.NET Core Report Viewer does not completely support the object function and VB function.

How do I specify SSRS data source credentials in the ASP.NET Core Report Viewer?

To connect an SSRS report data source that uses credentials to its database, specify the data source credentials for each report data source in the Bold Reports® ASP.NET Core Report Viewer.

The SSRS Report Server does not provide options to get credential information of the report data source deployed on the server. If the report has any data source that uses credentials to connect with the database, specify the data source credentials for each report data source in the ASP.NET Core Report Viewer to establish the database connection.

Image format

The ASP.NET Core Report Viewer supports only PNG and JPEG format images for PDF export. The limitation comes from the Syncfusion.Pdf.Net.Core library.
